Setting up an HDRI Skybox in a Unity scene using the standard render pipeline just takes a few steps. In this tutorial, we’ll create a Skybox material and set up our scene.

In this official course from Unity, you will learn Real-time Animated Storytelling, allowing you to create your own 3D animations with cutting-edge technology. During the course, you will develop pre-visualization skills, learn to create an environment and props, animate characters, film a story, and refine your Scene with lighting and effects. As an artist and storyteller, you will learn how to leverage one of the most powerful new technologies to bring your ideas to life in real-time. As you complete the creative challenges and develop your own project, you’ll be able to share your new skills in our gallery and in your portfolio. Whether you’re a student who wants to be at the forefront of the entertainment industry, or a professional looking to upskill, by the end of this course you will have developed in-demand skills to make you stand out from the crowd. The 3D assets for this course were generously provided by our partner, Synty Studios, and are not for commercial use. If you would like to use any of the 3D assets from this course in commercial projects, please purchase one of the asset packs from Synty Studios’ Asset Store page.

Unity’s High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) Lighting allows you to enhance your project’s visual appeal with ease. It uses a hybrid of Deferred and Forward Rendering Paths along with Tile and Cluster Renderers that allow the lighting to scale better than if you’re just using Unity’s built-in Rendering. In this tutorial, you will learn about HDRP and using it to light scenes.

In this tutorial we will be exploring the Universal Render Pipeline asset and its settings. We will create three pipeline assets that we can use in our project depending on what device or quality level we are targeting. You’ll want to first download the provided URP Demo Starter Project from the Tutorial Materials tab of this tutorial and open it in Unity.

Screen Space Reflections (SSR) are a high-quality, controllable, method of generating reflections using screen space data. They are more accurate than Reflection Probes and, while expensive, can be optimized. In this tutorial, we’ll enable and configure SSR.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to use the emissive properties of HDRP Materials to contribute to a Scene’s Global Illumination.

In this tutorial, you will explore the Lighting Artist’s approach to delivering cinematic realism for the Buried Memories: Serekh demo. This tutorial is part of Buried Memories: High Fidelity Game Visuals.

In this tutorial, you will: Review the lighting in the Buried Memories: Serekh concept art Identify the primary sources of lighting in the Buried Memories: Serekh demo Explore the role of the lighting artist This tutorial is part of Buried Memories: High Fidelity Game Visuals.

The Procedural Sky Volume Override is the default sky type in Scenes using the High-Definition Render Pipeline. In this workflow we’ll learn how to use the Procedural Sky Override to tint the sky and ground, adjust atmospheric thickness (simulating haze), and adjust lighting and exposure.
